10 Tasty English Foods

1. Toad in the Hole

The first item on this list of tasty English foods is Toad in the Hole. I remember someone giving me their version of Toad in the Hole when I was a child. It was a piece of bread with a hole ripped out of the middle and a fried egg cooked into the hole.

15 years later my housemate in Newcastle cooked up Toad in the Hole the proper English way. It was spectacular in comparison to what I had as a child. Sausages baked in a Yorkshire pudding with gravy.

7. Tea and Scones

I had an English girlfriend once and she LOVED tea and scones. To be more precise, teas and scones with jam and cream. If you have a sweet tooth, this one is for you.

8. Cornish Pasty

The Cornish Pasty is a baked pastry filled with minced meat and vegetables. It is great “on-the-go” snack from the bakery. The Cornish part fo the name is because of Cornwall region in England. I guess they made it there first.

9. Full English Breakfast

Thought to be a great hangover cure, the full English breakfast is a big fry-up. The exact ingredients used depends on what is available. It often includes eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, blood pudding, baked beans, etc.

10. Yorkshire Pudding

The last dish on this list of tasty English foods comes from the region of Yorkshire. You may remember the mention of Yorkshire pudding from the first item on this list, toad in the hole. Yorkshire pudding is an egg, flour and milk batter.
